AI system ProMUSE cuts Alzheimer's diagnosis costs with adaptive imaging

Researchers have developed ProMUSE, a novel AI system designed to improve the early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease by adaptively incorporating multi-modal data. This system initially uses low-cost clinical assessments and quantifies diagnostic uncertainty. If the uncertainty is high, ProMUSE progressively integrates more expensive data like MRI and PET scans, using Dempster-Shafer theory to fuse information and reduce reliance on costly imaging. Experiments on benchmark datasets show ProMUSE can achieve comparable accuracy to full-modality approaches while significantly reducing the need for MRI/PET scans, offering a more cost-effective solution for widespread screening.

    ProMUSE: Progressive Multi-modal Uncertainty-guided Staged Evidential Alzheimer Disease Classification

    arXiv:2606.19371v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a fatal disorder that destroys memory and cognitive skills in the elderly population. Most treatments for AD are effective in the early stage, leading to an increasing demand for early AD diagnosis. AD …
